TREES for Wildlife and Humans alike!

MOST APPLE TREES REQUIRE POLLINATION FROM ANOTHER VARIETY. PLANTING MULTIPLE TREES OF DIRRERENT VARIETIES WILL GREATLY INCREASE THE PRODUCTION OF FRUIT REGARDLESS IF THE TREE IS OF A "SELF POLLINATING" VARIETY. 

The pollen from an apple tree is actually compatible with the receptive stigma of  pear trees, meaning that it has the potential to be accepted and result in successful fertilization. This means that apple trees can successfully pollinate pear trees. However, pear trees cannot pollinate apple trees.
